This benchmark ended up being a real reach. Watch for the barb wire and you can get to it.

Just off of Iberia Road (which has very little traffic), this marker sits just on the West side of a bridge, between Iberia and I-90. Look for the fence that separates the two and follow the fence to its East corner before it turns North towards the interstate. The cover is found just on the other side of the fence which can be reached by reaching through the fence. It is right at the corner marked with two witness posts, one white and one orange. Also there is the fence post at the corner. When reaching through the fence stay low and avoid the barb wire. Everything abouth the mark is in very good shape.
